The Man from Morone

“The Man From Morone” is a full-length screenplay about the hermetic mystic Peter of Morone, who, in the late 13th century, was elected and briefly served as Pope of Christendom. The screenplay details the brief and tumultuous papacy of the old man as he tries to steer his booby-trapped way between the Scylla and Charybdis of an unscrupulous king and a crafty prelate. The new Pope soon finds himself drowning in a political whirlpool and serving as the meek pawn of unscrupulous others – until he finally stands up for what he knows is right… but, by then, is it too late?  “The Man From Morone” is a story about the tragic timidity of the good and the just when they are confronted by the unrelenting forces of evil and ambition – and the human consequences that follow from that timidity.
